I got a new rod for my birthday and hit the St Vrain last night to try it out. We have been getting a lot of rain recently and the flows were up. I thougt it was going to be hot. Unfortunately it was not. For 3 hours not a strike. Beautiful water that should hold fish yet nothing. Just before dark I picked up 3 fish to take the skunk off. That river is hard to figure out. I think the problem is that the flows can get very low when farmers take water. Also it warms up during the low flow times. Anyway the rod casts like a champ.

If you are buying I will be around. The Lefthand brewery is just around the corner and for a local place it is darn good. Are you doing the denver show again?

I am still working on fishing as much water around here as possible let alone get back to the cape. My buddy is buying a drift boat so it is going to be all over after that. I might have a trip to Boston next May and I will bring my gear if it happens.

Juro,
I will let Brad respond about the availibility of ~150' wide spots as I am not that familiar with the rivers in the Longmont area. Whether or not there is a clave, I will still pop for a beer or two. Any way a guy can get in to the show if he is not a dealer?
